| Abstract | |
Our purpose in undertaking a linguistic-interactional study of verbal prompting, as well as its explanatory gains for the context of aphasia research, has arisen from the conceptual imprecision of the phenomenon. Roughly speaking, prompting is understood as an articulation cue, that is, the execution by the recipient, or the first act of the first sequences of gestures that forms the first syllables of the word required. The lack of clarity on some aspects involved in its functioning, verbal prompting is usually mentioned in the clinics literature when one refers to the therapeutical strategies used in language recovery by aphasics. As a rule in these studies the therapist provides or stimulates spoken or written prompting to the patient. Therefore various aspects of the phenomenon are lost of sight. This research aims to describe and characterize the emergence of prompting in aphasic language through interactive activities developed in the Language program of Centro de Convivência de afásicos (CCA), located at the Institute of Language Studies/ Universidade Estadual de Campinas (IEL/Unicamp). By taking it as a phenomenon to be analyzed, we intend to further define and explain the conceptual contours of prompting, in its various settings and types, describing the conditions and interactional-linguistic context to its occurrence and its relationship with the characteristics of the aphasic language. Furthermore, we aimed to characterize what motivates aphasics to choose, in response to prompting by an oral production, written or sign language. The development of the analytical implications of prompting allows us as better understanding of what occurs specifically in the context of aphasia, in order that we may establish the necessary links about the phenomenon and can, therefore, besides adding new knowledge to the area of interactional and conversational studies in the field of linguistics, contribute to the clinical investigations that aim to assist aphasic subjects in their difficulties to communicate and significate (AU) | |
